  • A simulation study of dynamic postural stability in the dog

    Creator:
    Cross, Carlton Edward
    Abstract:
    An analog simulation of the postural control system (PCS) of a dog is used to illustrate how modern systems simulation can be applied to a study of complex life systems. Even though many bold assumptions were required to adequately simplify the PCS model, the simulation provided intuitive insight and gave...

  • Logic circuit design of a 41-bit residue arithmetic unit

    Creator:
    Routhieaux, Thomas Robert
    Abstract:
    The application of residue notation is another approach for solving the problem of carry propagation in arithmetic units. Most other methods for solving this problem are based on changes in adder design and the use of improved components. Residue arithmetic has the inherent property of requiring no carries between moduli....

  • A study of the stability of a third-order system with saturation

    Creator:
    Shim, Wook Rang
    Abstract:
    The stability of a third-order, nonlinear system with a saturation characteristic was studied by applying the second method of Liapunov, which is the most general approach currently used for dynamic systems. This thesis presents (1) the analysis of a third-order, nonlinear system, (2) a suitable Liapunov function, generated by the...

  • Hybrid computer simulation of the dynamic performance of a rotary solenoid

    Creator:
    Bolden, Barrington Oliver
    Abstract:
    A consumer orientated simulation of rotary solenoid performance allows the user to determine what effects non-standard conditions will have on performance in a contemplated application. Typical variable conditions are: loads temperature and voltage. Three differential equations are used to describe the solenoid operation. Two of these are non-linear, second-order equations...

  • Limit cycle detection of the Van der Pol equation

    Creator:
    Bae, Yoon Goon
    Abstract:
    The detection of limit cycles may be accomplished in several ways. This thesis presents a numerical method for detection when the system is described by the Van der Pol equation. Two numerical integration methods are used to increase the accuracy of the detection. The concept of a transversal is utilized...

  • An acceleration-oriented learning controller for second-order systems

    Creator:
    Gallaher, Dale Marion
    Abstract:
    The acceleration in a second-order system is directly controllable by the input. The Acceleration-Oriented Learning Controller generates the input to control a second-order system and adjust this input based on observations of the system's response in order to obtain a particular acceleration pattern. Large changes with time and some nonlinearities...

  • Design-approach evaluation of multiple-input, model-reference, adaptive control systems

    Creator:
    Cowgill, Paul Nelson
    Abstract:
    The model-reference, adaptive control concept is based on the precept that desired control system performance is a known design requirement and can be obtained from a representative model. Control system parameters are adjusted by the adaptive controller through a minimizing operation on a function of the error (i.e., performance index)...

  • High resolution root locus plots

    Creator:
    Swenson, Edward James
    Abstract:
    A technique is presented for obtaining high resolution root locus plots and Bode diagrams. This is done by translating the origin of coordinates to the area of interest by an appropriate change of variable. The method is applicable to hand calculations or use of a potential analog computer. Examples include...

  • Approaches to linear, time-varying systems analysis

    Creator:
    Curran, Emmett Eugene
    Abstract:
    The problem of analyzing the general linear, time-varying system is investigated. The approach starts with four different system representations: the differential equation, transform representations, signal flow graphs, or block diagrams. Given one of these system describing representations, it is shown what the engineer can find out about the system and...
